A trademark filed Sept. 13 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office shows that the league — ECHL Inc. — applied to be the new owner of the Solar Bear name, which was previously held by Orlando Magic owner Rich DeVos.

The team is set to have an official unveiling of the name Nov. 16, but the trademark application shows the iconic logo of a polar bear wearing sunglasses and holding a hockey stick.

Check back on Nov. 16 for the official update.
